Astrocyte Elevated Gene-1 Regulates Macrophage Activation in Hepatocellular Carcinogenesis
4 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Chronic inflammation is a known hallmark of cancer and is central to the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatic macrophages play a critical role in the inflammatory process leading to HCC. The oncogene Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) regulates NFκB activation, and germline knockout of AEG-1 in mice (AEG-1−/−) results in resistance to inflammation and experimental HCC. In this...
